The Justice Department is preparing to bring criminal corruption charges against New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez, a Democrat, alleging he used his Senate office to push the business interests of a Democratic donor and friend in exchange for gifts.

People briefed on the case say Attorney General Eric Holder has signed off on prosecutors’ request to proceed with charges, CNN has learned exclusively. An announcement could come within weeks. Prosecutors are under pressure in part because of the statute of limitation on some of the allegations.

Very strange especially when Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi have done far worse.

Just as Mit Romney discovered to his everlasting frustration, Barack Obama is as nasty] a street fighter as ever brought a gun to a knife fight. Indicting Senator Menendez has to have been a presidential command. Eric Holder does not possess the gonads to take this action without Obama’s prior approval.
